It only changes the cache size for the internal memory.

I emailed the dev a few weeks ago, he said he's going to think about giving people with phones like ours (X2, Atrix, etc) the option to mod our external card in a future version.

So as of right now, we don't have an easy way of changing cache settings for external cards ... darn it.

Any ideas on how to do this manually?

I Was Referring To Why I Have Two Numbers Is 3c Does My Internal And SD Card Speed Increase By Diego Stamigni *Free* For My External.
[Motorola Droid X2] pdinphx:
Mike,

I think Juhde confirmed that SD Speed Increase only changes cache for our internal sd card.

I read a thread somewhere - started by the developer - where the issue of internal and external cards was discussed. Apparently, there is a manual workaround for other android phones with the same int/ext card issue.

I will try and locate that thread ...

That Worked Right Up Until I Deodexed Gingerbread And Now When I Plug The USB In It Unmounts My SD Card, But Leaving It Stock It Doesn't Do That.
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:32/read_ahead_kb

That's your external card, the internal memory is 179:0

This change won't persist after a reboot so you either need to write a script to change it, or do it manually after every reboot.

I would not recommend editing the vold.fstab, while it does accomplish a number of things that make the phone act more like other phones, the draw backs and potential hazards are not worth it in my opinion.

[Motorola Droid X2] pdinphx:
You guys are da bomb ... thanks for the leads.

I'm game for going in and changing the cache value manually; what are you - who are in the know - setting the external card cache to? 2048? 3072? 4096?

Pj
[Motorola Droid X2] pdinphx:
Alright, an interesting development ...

I went into the file provided by juhde to manually change the value - for the external sd card - and found that it was already set to 4096. This can only mean that some other .apk I was using had already written to this file.

I looked at the cache value set in SD Speed Increase, and it was 3072.

I looked at the cache value set in STP, and it was 128 (although SD Tweak was unchecked).

I looked at the cache value set in SD-Booster, and it was 4096.

Therefore, utilizing my super awesome skills of deduction, I concluded that:

1. SD Speed Increase changes cache values for the internal SD card.

2. SD-Booster changes cache values for the external SD card.

Will someone else please double check my work?

[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Personally I find 2048 provides stable, repeatable improvement.

Sent from OH MY GOD IS THAT A SQUIRREL!
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
After installing Sd-Booster and uninstalling Sd speed increase, my findings show that SD-Booster in fact altered both values and SD Speed Increase only alters the internal memory.

What's A Good Program To Test SD Read/Write Speeds?
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Windows can give a quick method. Find a file a couple hundred MB in size and transfer it to the phone, the transfer speed will be shown in the details section, this shows your write speed. Then transfer the same file back to the computer to get your read speeds.

Other than that, google sdcard speed test. I'm sure you can dig up something.

I'm not sure that there's anything on the market to test the SD-ext card in our DX2's ... the only app that will even test our external card, SD Card Tester, is returning really low read and write values for my 32GB/Class 10 card.

[Android Themes] bodybombs:
get a homescreen replacement from the market, like adw or launcher pro, then download the pack of icons to a folder on your phone, then manually change each one from your phone.

at least thats how i do it.

with adw you just long press the icon until you get a menu selection, then hit edit, then click on the icon, then find the image you want to replace it with
[Android Themes] GreggoryD502:
I believe you will have to use a new home laucher like launcher pro, go launcher or awd. They allow you to replace the icons. Also you will need an app like andro zip to unpack the zip file the icons are in. After unpacking they will be in your gallery.

You have to unroot it then install the update then root again.

how do you want to unroot if you can't restart?

i hope you have an external sd-card

dl one of the stock 3.1 roms and extract the update.zip (eventually you have to use the un encryption tool available in dev).

put the update.zip on your external sd-card

hit volume- and power simultaneously.

if cwm is installed you will see the cwm menu. if it is not installed it will start with the update.zip and reinstall you system, without root and cwm.

What does them setting up their '4G LTE' have to do with their 3g data service being slow?????:D;)
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
Probably because they have to turn off the cell tower to upgrade with LTE, leading to surrounding towers to pick up the signal workload.
[Captivate General] studacris:
They are doing work on the towers to introduce 4g. And since ya know, there is still people using those towers being worked on they would have to jump to another tower while theirs was down, more traffic on the surrounding towers means the data will be slower.

I an running Deck's 1.3b Rom with the latest Radio's and Savagedzen 2.2.1 BFS HAVS kernel. Im almost positive it isn't the ROM, but I get occasional random lockups, where the phone will just lockup and be unresponsive to the screen or buttons.

For example,

If I am playing music (stock app, and Music beta app)over bluetooth the music stops (most of the time) Then all of the sudden weather it be 15 or 60 seconds later, the phone snaps out of it, and operates normally and the music starts where it left off. It doesn't only happen while playing music, its pattern makes no sense. I always wipe everything at least 2x when flashing a new ROM, and this behavior has occured while using CM7 builds, and various other ROM's.
